How stupid have the Fleet battles become?

I am a guild leader and long time player and I am seriously considering leaving the game cause the most "fun" aspect of SWGOH was GAC and this has been ruined for me after the insane Tie Dagger buff. Now you can clear all teams without losing a fight while your opponent wins all with 2-3 trials, but you can still lose the match cause your opponent doesn't want a fair fight but just puts Leviathan-Executor and Raddus as Fleet defense. So basically, you start with 2 coin tosses. Losing this way wants you to toss your cellphone across the room, and this can't be the idea of a fun time.

For me, SWGOH use to be a skill game, gradually it became a money game but now it's not only a money game but a game that sucks all the skill out and pushes free-to-play down the kyber ladder. I am/was kyber II with only 7 GL's and was doing fine, but with the Fleet implosion, I lose to players that I would have beaten if there wasn't that Tie Dagger update NOBODY ASKED FOR.

I am sorry for the rant but I just had to vent this.

    Agree with most of this.  Not sure i blame players for way they set their defense though.

  • Profundity with Mk6 is an 80%+ 1-shot counter and Profundity reinforcing Cassian is a 70%+ 1-shot with better odds of taking out the capital ship.  While bad RNG will happen, an incorrect play will yield a loss.

    There are budget 2-shots for Executor or you could use a GR fleet.  Raddus is generous.

      @Darth: I would like to see those budget Executor counters against a 7 star Punishing One.  And as a FPP I invested in the Chimaera, and this has now become obsolete.

      @Presario: sure, but this would not fly a couple of weeks ago. Now you put those two fleets in defense and you have a 50% chance of wining (or not losing the zone).

        I put those exact three fleets on defense and just went 3 for 3. I actually enjoy the fleet meta currently because it's a test of your off-meta counters. I recommend using Endurance, it at the very least makes a 2 shot possible for either Leviathan or Executor (yes, even with a 7 star punishing one)

    It's not players' fault that CG has decreased their priority on quality in this game.  Players are working with what we  have and since CG's priority for PVP aspects is low as well, it might be this way a while longer.  There are counters, but we just have to deal with bad RNG because CG isn't concerned about us losing crystals.  (The less we climb to #1 for payout, the less crystals they give us for "free")

    The accountants seem to be in charge and their concern is us spending money.  Not quality.  Not bugs.  Not game stability. 

  • Set all three on d and win with efficiency on the ground. I'm totally fine with never playing ships again, it's the worst game mode in the game.
